[PATCH] net: stmmac: fix a broken u32 less than zero check

From: Colin King <hidden>
Date: 2017-06-06 13:10:53

From: Colin Ian King <redacted>

The check that queue is less or equal to zero is always true
because queue is a u32; queue is decremented and will wrap around
and never go -ve. Fix this by making queue an int.
